Windwhistle Campground campground
Windwhistle Campground
The campground itself offers several amenities, including picnic tables, fire pits, and toilets. There is no potable water available at the campsite, so visitors must bring their own water or treat water from nearby sources. Pets are allowed at the campground, but they must be kept on a leash.
Interesting facts about the area include the presence of several ancient ruins and petroglyphs in the surrounding area. The Upper Colorado-Kane Springs watershed is also home to several rare plant and animal species, including the endangered Colorado pikeminnow.
